- Title: 6/1/1997 Time Bomb Patch utility for NetManage ActiveX controls
- Date: 09/17/96
-
- Overview:
- The NetManage ActiveX controls contain time bomb code that will cause an
- error message to be displayed from the ActiveX enabled application at load
- time if the date is 6/1/1997 or later. The message is the only effect of
- the time bomb.
-
- If you have any of the following control packs on your system that are dated
- prior to 9/17/96, this utility will remove the time bomb code from your controls
- by editing the binaries for each affected control:
-
- Control Packs this will fix
- Delphi 2.01
- NEWT IntraNet ActiveX 5.1
- Chameleon NFS for Windows NT
- Chameleon NFS for Windows 95
-
- Control Packs this will not fix
- Microsoft ICP dated 2/27/96
- Microsoft ICP dated 4/25/96
-
- Releases after 9/17/96 will contain the fix.
-
- Syntax:
- replacer
-
- Note:
- All target ActiveX controls and 'nmocod.dll' need to be registered before running
- this program. None of the OCXs or the nmocod.dll can be in memory when running
- REPLACER.EXE. Make sure you do not have any program using these controls loaded when
- executing REPLACER.EXE.
-
- Description:
- For each NetManage ActiveX control detected in the registry, the program will backup the
- control, patch it if the time bomb is detected, and report the result. If the control
- is backed up, it will be backed up in the same directory as the location of the original,
- except it will have an additional extension of '.old' (i.e. ftpct.ocx will be backed up to
- ftpct.ocx.old).
-
- The controls that will be updated are as follows;
- ftpct.ocx
- html.ocx
- httpct.ocx
- nntpct.ocx
- popct.ocx
- smtpct.ocx
- winsck.ocx
- nmocod.dll
-
- Replacer.exe can be located anywhere on your system.
